Hello fellow Wikipedians! My name is Zouf, although I'm legally Matthew. I live in New York City and Orange County, NY- but I go to school and spend nearly all my time in the city. I vigorously enjoy a number of things, and have a moderate interests in some other things. Among the things which I am moderately interested include: The thing which I really enjoy are: OK, so I'm a little geeky, who cares? I really enjoy Wikipedia, and I intend to contribute in all way possible. I have only started, truly in February, 2006, but I intend to increase my contributions and the quality of my contributions. I will not list the things I've contributed to, I feel this is tacky and superfluous information.

HM, so the anti-fascist userbox has been deleted. Well, I oppose fascism in all its forms... in case you were wondering.

Blog of Things Interesting!
''I will use this section to point out things that I think are generally funny, hilarious, or somehow interesting to read. You should get the general gist of what I'm trying to say because of my userboxes''
 * A monkey's futile attempt to disprove a god-like intellect! Funny thing here is that the author actually interprets Einstein wrong!
 * Divine Revelation (for a fee) Watch out! If Zeev doesn't like you, he might use his "pine-cone shaped organ"!
 * Government: An anatomical impossibility?–This is hilarious!

Bush is inane and insane

 * CNN just showed a George W. Bush conference in which he announced his interest in making a 28th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Fascinated, I kept watching. I was soon horrified and disgusted to find that this proposed amendment is an amendment which would define marriage as being a union between man and women. Took me a while to get over this... seeing as the Constitution is not a dictionary last time I checked. Besides from that, well there's not much I can say to describe how wrong Bush is. But, what should I expect other than that.

Automobiles that are 1337
Specific Cars Car companies that I like / dislike I used to like GM products, as I did Ford. I never liked Chrysler products, ever, so nothing really changed with them. But, it seems that the longer they manufacture cars, the cheaper they make them. I used to be a hardcore American car fan, but what does GM produce now but a ticking time bomb in the form of a warranty. They charge obscenely high prices (relatively of course, for waht you're gettingfor a "truck" thats supposed to out perform other trucks because its "American built". But, it almost always fails to step up to the plate. The Suburbans, for example, look nice, feel nice and used to be awesome trucks. But, they are now plagued with asinine engine problems, and when they are taken back to the dealer, there seems to be even more problems. The American car companies frustrate me immensly. However, to be fair, there are a few I like, but I really mean a few. So, the companies I like, due to the combination of price, performance, utility, and ergonomics are:
 * 1969 Vette
 * 1962 Impala
 * 1967 C10 Pickup
 * 1962 Corvair
 * MINI (BMW)
 * Honda Civic
 * BMW 7-series (new gen. only)
 * BMW 3-series (everything but the new gen.)
 * G35
 * Volkswagen Jetta
 * Volkswagen Golf
 * QX56
 * Chevrolet Suburban (when it was a truck!)
 * Chevrolet Silverado (when it was a truck!)
 * BMW-mostly because they bought out MINI, and I think MINI is an excellent company (the Cooper is amazing). Also, I like their older 3-series and newer 7-series
 * Infiniti-the QX56 is the best utility / luxury vehicle (9,000 lbs. tow cap.!... not even the Escalade or Navigator can beat that) in the luxury SUV market, and Infiniti always seems to produce a "cool car".
 * Honda-Among the greatest car companies ever. Although they may not produce the fastest car, in my opinion, it is a quality car.
 * Acura-I like Acura mostly because I love Honda and their Integra is sweet.
 * Nissan-Again, great price and ergonomics
 * Mercedes-Used to be an awesome car company, however it is starting to decline.
